Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey Piedocast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey Pee-Ocast. My name is Imitra Filipovich. And joining me is my good buddy,

Jack Hahn. Jack. What's going on, man? Just came back from Toronto for the weekend. Was there

with the Connecticut Whale? We got the split against the Toronto 6th. So obviously,

we would have liked to get two wins. But we lost the first one,, 74, made some good adjustments, then took the second one for one.

So lots of positives there, and maybe there will be a lot for us to talk about from the bench perspective.

Yeah, yeah, we'll save that for a bit here.

We're going to do listener questions, a mailbag here, and we got a lot of good stuff

and a lot of really thopper-looking stuff, so we're going to try to get through as much

of it as we can.

All right, let's get going here.

So Tyler Blasinski asks, are the devil's running someone or are the devils ruining someone like

Alex Holtz by not giving him assignments with top line players and then sitting him for weeks on end?

Isn't it better for him to be in the HL playing regularly in Utica?

I thought this is an interesting question.

He talked specifically about Holt and the Devils, but also take a step back

and view it through a kind of like bigger picture lens of just like ideal development paths

and routes and how you want to be trying to get the most out of your young players in these

key developmental years where they could kind of, they're at a crossroads where they could either

become an impact player or kind of change their game into becoming sort of a utility role player or just totally flame out and be playing

in Europe in a couple years time.

Yeah, I mean, I, I'm not super familiar with Holtz's situation in particular.
